I don't know about wireless sensors, but I thought the same way about
wireless computer networking a few years ago.

Well, I can think of a few places where wireless sensors would
make sense:

1. Retrofitting sensors into an existing building without having to
   rewire the place.

2. Anyplace where you need to move sensors around very often.
